Michele Attias

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She works in English and Spanish and uses a warm, attentive style to help people feel heard. Michele aims to reduce overwhelm and improve everyday energy and focus so clients can make clearer decisions and take practical steps forward.

She draws on a number of approaches to suit each person's needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person, with options discussed together for shorter or longer term support. Michele describes her way of working as integrative and holistic, looking at physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing where relevant.

Over 20 years she has supported people through bereavement, relationship stress, career difficulties and burnout. Practical tools and simple behavioural steps are combined with space to process feelings and meaning. Michele also offers coaching-style guidance for clients who want a more action-focused plan alongside therapy.

Clients can expect help with concentration, time management and reducing overthinking as well as emotional recovery from trauma or abuse. She welcomes people exploring identity and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD-related strain and compassion fatigue. Michele aims to create a steady, supportive therapeutic relationship that helps clients move from feeling stuck to feeling more able to act.

Her book Look Inside: Stop Seeking Start Living complements the work she does in sessions and reflects her practical, reflective approach to change.

How Michele’s approaches translate online

Michele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them, especially when anxiety or overthinking gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical experiments to change mood and behaviour. Her client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can make their own choices about next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Michele will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits a person's goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as work progresses so sessions remain aligned with what the person needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and making it easier to keep consistent appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust pacing, homework and practical tools to suit remote work, so clients still get active support for concentration, time management and reducing overwhelm.
